• Support multi-cloud connectivity as part of a broader cloud strategy.
• Ensure network designs align with healthcare regulatory and security requirements, partnering with the security organization on audit readiness.
• Champion automation and Infrastructure-as-Code approaches to network provisioning and change management.
• Partner on incident response and root cause analysis, translating lessons learned into architectural improvements.
• Evaluate emerging technologies and vendors, making recommendations that improve reliability, security, and cost efficiency.

• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to work effectively across engineering, leadership, and partner teams.
• Must be inquisitive and demonstrate openness to innovation including AI to explore better processes and ways to alleviate friction and improve patient and client experiences.
